+1 I would watch Richpin's video on cleaning the throttle body and idle air control valve. You can find it in the "How to Library" under Richpin videos. Some of these symptoms can be corrected by cleaning certain parts.

Well I can only tell you what I found in my experience and you obviously have a lot of your own.

The throttle plate and opening on my car is clean and the plate is hanging up in the opening with the engine running so making a MINOR adjustment so the pedal is not sticking is what I have done. I have not had any problems doing this and idle speed is identical.

Not user adjustable? I guess we should not touch anything then.

Any fix for a sticky gas pedal. It sticks when you start to press it. It comes and goes. thanks

Everyone's comment on cleaning the TB is right on. This is a problem that will reappear from time to time. Often times I can get away with just spraying some carb cleaner into the TB aimed at the interface between the butterfly valve and the internior body. Often times this is enough to solve the issue, but eventually you will need a good full cleaning involving removing the TB and the IAC.
